We are staying @ the Pop and our boys are doing the Albatross Pirate Cruise. I'm planning on taking bus to HS because it has morning EMH and then going from HS to the YC. Would it be better to walk or take the boat from HS to YC? Will we make it in time?”

Hi Michelle,

We often take the pathway from Hollywood Studios to the Epcot resort area but it is a lengthy walk especially with children. You did not mention your boys ages but mine are often not up for this choice, which can take approximately twenty to thirty minutes depending on how quickly you walk and where exactly you are headed to. The boats would typically be your fastest choice unless just miss it, then you may find yourself waiting a while for the next one. Remember the boat will stop at other resort locations, like the Swan/Dolphin, so you will need to factor that into your travel times.

Personally I would make my decision on whether or not I just missed the boat and what the moods of my kids were. If the boat just left without us and my kids were up for it, I would start walking. However if there is a boat in site or my kids are already exhausted, I would wait for the ride. Hope you have a great trip.
